STATESBORO - Georgia Southern men's tennis senior Laurent Julia Calac has been named the Sun Belt Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week, announced today by league officials.

Calac was unbeaten in singles and doubles as the Eagles had a perfect weekend in Birmingham. He teamed with Aaron James Williams to defeat Samford's No. 1 doubles team, 6-3, for the duo's ninth consecutive win, then collected a straight-set win over Sebastian Harrison in Georgia Southern's 5-2 victory over the Bulldogs. 

The Reutlingen, Germany, native then collected another straight-set singles win on Sunday, beating UAB's Hoan Mouret n the Eagles' 6-1 victory over the Blazers. It was his third straight singles win.

Calac is the third Georgia Southern men's tennis player to earn a Sun Belt Player of the Week accolade this season, joining Aaron James Williams (January 22) and Pierre Mouesca (February 19). It is the first career honor for the senior. 

The Eagles return to action on Saturday, hosting in-state rival Mercer in a 2 p.m. contest at the Wallis Tennis Center.
